Best Time

Part of the Building Real Games section of Coddy's Unity journey. Lesson 53 of 56.

Challenge

Medium

Last step: each level remembers your best time. Keep everything from the earlier lessons. Each level's HUD has a BestText at the top right, and the scene puts it in FinishLine's new bestText field.

In FinishLine (add using TMPro;):

A TMP_Text field bestText that the Inspector sets, and the run's time: a float that grows by Time.deltaTime every frame.
Each level saves its best under its own PlayerPrefs key: BestTime_ and the level's name, such as BestTime_Level1.
In Start, show the level's saved best with one decimal, as Best: 12.4 s, or Best: none when it has none yet.
When the player crosses the finish, before the next level loads, save the run's time if the level has no best yet or the run beat it. A slower run leaves the best alone.

Press Play and set a time, then try to beat it, then Check.

Try it yourself

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class FinishLine : MonoBehaviour
{
    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.GetComponent<Player>() == null) return;

        Scene level = SceneManager.GetActiveScene();
        Debug.Log(level.name + " complete!");
        int next = level.buildIndex + 1;
        if (next >= SceneManager.sceneCountInBuildSettings)
        {
            next = 0;
        }
        SceneManager.LoadScene(next);
    }
}
